I don't even know what I want

Maybe where you live, but a fully-loaded Tacoma is about $39k, a similarly equipped Tundra is well over $50k.

That might be because I'm in Texas, and full-sized trucks demand a premium.

I'm in the same debate. I want 4 doors and 4wd in a midsize. Need to be able to tow a 6000 pound trailer. I like the Chevy Colorado because GM parts are probably slightly more available and slightly easier to work on. It only has like 8" of ground clearance from the factory though. Whichever truck I get I will make last the rest of my life because I won't drive it every day and will take care of it well.

Personally I'm partial to the Canyon because of the softer and quieter ride, and cheaper pricetag. Since it's going to be a daily driver for me, and I'm a special snowflake disabled faggot I need something comfortable and easy to get into. The Canyon is that.

If you're looking for more utility, you'd probably like the Colorado or some Tacoma models better.

Lol. Tacoma's are 30k for a base V6 if you're lucky. New Ram 1500s go for high 20s and offer a v8. Not saying which is better but no. Tacoma's prices are laughable

After the setup I want the price difference is only about 2K between the Colorado and the Tacoma.

And I am definitely after utility. I keep coming back to the Tacoma. It's the perfect truck for some one who isn't pulling tractors or hauling stone in the bed. At least in my eyes.

>SR5 4x4 is now a base model

I would rather have a fullsize truck (ffs or a superduty) for the price of the tacoma, but tacos are sweet little trucks.

the new Taco is a great truck. I was looking at one, but bought pic related instead. The Tacoma would be a lot more functional than the camero,mustang or sti but not as much fun to drive until you get in the dirt.

Are you some fucking E-2 brand-new boot fucking army guy or marine? Cause you sure sell into that demographic hard as fuck.

My suggestion is to not buy any new vehicle, get a cheap beater and save up your money for your soon-to-come other-than-honorable discharge.

I actually did 2 tours in Afghanistan.
